Top hotels in South Dallas
Lorenzo Hotel Dallas, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
Like staying in a piece of art, but with helpful, friendly, and informative staff. Only drawback, no free breakfast, but regardless of that would certainly stay here for every Dallas trip. The wife wants to stay just to stay and enjoy the pool!

Canvas Hotel Dallas
What a lovely place! The food was great and we were appreciative of not having to leave the hotel to find a restaurant on a Friday night after traveling all day. Rain didn’t allow us to use the pool but it looked good. This place is clean and comfortable, we loved it.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Dallas DFW Airport North
Room was clean, but it is much older and rundown than it looks online, and the walls are thin.

DoubleTree by Hilton Dallas - Campbell Centre
If you love hearing the highway all night long and feel like you’re literally on the streets then this is for you. The absolute worst hotel I have ever stayed in throughout my whole life.
